I'm not one to wear heels often, but was challenged over on Modest Fashionistas to dress up a casual look. This pastel shirt is one of my most treasured thrift finds and is light and perfect for a hot summer day. In the past I've dressed this shirt up with pencil skirts, so I wanted to switch it up and bit and wear some pastel skinny jeans. I completed the look with my favorite mint bag and this darling J. Crew inspired fan fringe necklace.

If you've been reading for a while now, you probably remember me mentioning SHY Boutique. I'm all for supporting local companies and one of my all time favorite skirts is also from there. Recently, Justine contacted me about re-opening SHY Boutique and wanting me to style one of their new necklaces. Of course I was more than happy to help spread the word and style a little something. In my opinion, a statement necklace can make a simple casual outfit stand out. I personally think J. Crew is overpriced and even if I was super wealthy, I couldn't ever see myself spending $148 on a piece of jewelry I wouldn't wear on a daily basis (;
